Books, stationery, and wellbeing
The different themes for National Stationery Week are so much fun, especially today's: Get Crafty. What stationery addict doesn't love a roll of washi tape or inspirational postcard? I've approached a different brand to work with for each themed today and chose The Green Gables for my crafty post. Gabrielle's Live Happy range is ideal… Continue reading National Stationery Week 2017: Get Crafty [The Green Gables review and giveaway]
It's been a busy week. Not one with a lot on, just one of those weeks which seems to have gone by really quickly and where you feel like you haven't really done anything. Fortunately my book reviews were scheduled ahead of time but I kept falling asleep when Jenson did and didn't post a… Continue reading Saturday Share #82
My 2017 bullet journal set-up is nearly ready to share - it took me an age just to decide what notebook I was going to use! I think stickers and washi tape are the way to go for me creatively as I'm not an artist but still want it to look pretty and colourful. I… Continue reading Item of the day: Simple reminders stickers from Department Store for the Mind at Not on the High Street
I didn't really set any new year's resolutions for the last couple of years - I just wanted to focus on being a good mum. Now I feel like I've settled into the working mum routine and it's time to focus on myself a bit more. In my latest Box of Lame (more on that… Continue reading Goals for 2017 – and a giveaway!
I love writing these posts; even if I've had a particularly lazy/stressful/shitty week, I'm always able to think of at least five things that have put a smile on my face. In amongst a week full of deadlines, late nights, over-time and, let's face it, just feeling a little bit stressed out, I've taken comfort… Continue reading Friday Favourites #13
It's that time of the week again where I share my favourite recent reads and newly discovered blogs. Grab a brew and enjoy! Books Gemma Correll is one of my fave illustrators and she's just jumped a million places up my girl crush list after releasing her Feminist Activity Book. The girl is so freakin'… Continue reading Saturday Share #52
As I mentioned yesterday, I'm rejigging my blog posts a bit. I love sharing my favourite reads of the week with you but I've bumped it to a Saturday Share instead of a Follow Friday to make way for a Friday Favourites (#alliterationaddict). Check out my first Friday Favourites post here and let me know… Continue reading Saturday Share #51
Last week I was too knackered to post a Follow Friday, so my 50th(!) post is now a bumper special. Seems rather apt. Looking to experiment in the kitchen this weekend? I've got you covered with loads of new recipes, as well as tips for those wanting to start a bullet journal and a whole… Continue reading Follow Friday #50
I keep going on about living more mindfully and taking time to appreciate what makes each day great but it's a lot easier said than done - especially when there are so many awesome journals out there. The latest to grab my attention is this Instant Happy Journal from Amazon. It's £13.48.
I've been catching up on the 2,000+ blog posts I've bookmarked, so there are some slightly older links here this week. They're all goodies though, so make yourself comfortable and have a gander. Baby A woman has dared to suggest that working non-mothers should be entitled to me-ternity leave. I could punch her in the… Continue reading Follow Friday #48
